Blessing.

GOD IS SO GOOD!

I have been so blessed this week, well I'm blessed period, but so many amazing things happened this week that were such a blessing. Financially things have been quite rough on me but somehow, by the grace of God, I have gotten by. On Tuesday I had a very busy day but I was very thankful that they were all some of my good clients. First of all, let me explain, this was the of our holiday hours where I had to open at 8am, which if you know me being awake at or before 8am is very difficult for me especially considering my insomnia has flared up again. I was dreading waking up but surprisingly I wasn't tired at all which was a pure miracle and great since I had a busy day ahead of me. Minus some drama that I had to take care of at work, it was a great day and the company of my clients put me in a great mood. What I didn't expect was to leave with $105 in tips!!! (with emphasis on the exclamation points) I even refused one of my clients generous tip amount but he graciously wouldn't budge, saying "Merry Christmas" and walking out the door. I was so overwhelmed with the generosity....

Today was a little opposite at work with it being a slower day, which was actually a blessing in disguise because I really had to study for a test I had that evening (which I got a 94% on). Later in the afternoon I was about to take my last client when one of my regular clients walked in the door. I was confused because she didn't have an appointment. She asked me to come talk to her and she said she came because she wouldn't see me before the holiday and wanted to wish me a Merry Christmas. I thought that was the sweetest thing and then she went to shake my hand and gave me a $20 bill. I'm telling you, I thought it was so sweet that she just stopped in to wish me a good holiday, but when she slipped me the 20 I was once again overwhelmed. I just don't know how I got sooooo blessed with amazing clients. I'm telling you, 99% of clients are such great people that even if money wasn't involved I'd still love them! But all this generosity just really touched me.

But that isn't the end of my blessings. I come home and get my mail and the dreaded bill from "Omaha Surgery" arrived. I had a procedure done in March in which my insurance chose not to cover and while I got financial assistance from the hospital it covered the surgery try I still had to pay "the doctor" $575. Over the past few months I've made little payments and had 75 of it paid but they were going to send the bill to collections and it has really been a weight on my shoulders. So when I opened up the bill I assumed it would say they sent it to collections but to my surprise it said I only owed $28! How could this be?! I still owed $500! Ends up, nine months after the procedure my insurance decided to pay it! I mean really? REALLY? This has been a burden, I've shed tears knowing this bill would go to collections and now it is all the sudden paid!! WOW!

Just miraculous! Praise the Lord! I'm in awe. I'm overwhelmed in joy. I'm blessed. So so blessed.
